Lost keys in Salt Lake City: Found
Alan was driving with his five pet dogs from his home in California to visit family in Massachusetts. If you have five dogs, you drive rather than fly. They stopped for a break in a Salt Lake City park to let the dogs have a break and chase a ball. When they got back to the pickup truck, Alan realized his truck key was missing. He had dropped it in the six-inches of snow in the park. In order to continue his trip, he would have to find the key or get a new one made. After several hours of searching, the sun went down, and he realized he needed help. He found The Ring Finders, and we talked on the phone. My schedule was free, so I met him at the park an hour after we first talked. A half foot of snow doesn’t bother a good metal detector. I followed him through the park as he retraced his steps, then I started a grid search, detecting in the area he had thrown the ball for the dogs. After an hour, I heard the beep from my detector that I was hoping for. The key was half-buried in the snow. He was able to start his truck and continue the trip to the east coast.
